VIEWS OF COBBEHFOHDBim. TOPICS OF TO DAY. THE RESULT YESTERDAY. THE CAMPAIGN. SAVE YOUR FUEL I PREPARE FOR WINTER ROEBUCK'S WEATHER STRIP FOR SALE guanUties, And applied if dedredat Mannfaotnrort Prices we are to day a majority of the white race of he Union.

A party with such a history oom mands the respect of the world. Nothing but the deep and abiding faith of its followers that they are right oould have kept up such an organization denounced, vilified, poor in all but love of country. If it is defeated now it will come again before the people. Oome as it did in 1860, with the power to keep peace as in 1864, with power to make peace as it comes now with the power to restore the government of the fathers. Come with the blessings which no other party can bestow and live.

If the people desire a continuance of experiments under our Government, the Democrats will cheerfully submit when legally defeated. If a continuance of eight years like the past is deemed to be desirable, the Democracy 'will try to bear common troubles as well as their fellow oitizens. The news of the result yesterday will be received with feelings of mingled sorrow arid despair in half the Union. The women of our own race at the South will cower as they hoar it and the very children will shudder in the face of a calamity they will not be able to comprehend. The negroes, puffed up with a sense of their importance, will be led to farther aggressions, and the General of the Armies in the name of peace will be looked to to maintain a condition of affairs worse than war.

Over such victories let the Kadicals howl themselves hoarse if they will. They are yelling over the defeat of the principles of their fathers, over the sufferings of then own countrymen, and over the promise of such victories as have left this once happy country as it is. Who Are the Fraudulent Voters? The challenge of Joe Keeve at the Registry yesterday fell like a thunderbolt in the Badical camp. He has been a big gun in local politics for a quarter of a century, and the discovery that his right to vote was questionable astonished old political stagers. The Kadicals wanted careful sorutiny of every vote offered and thoy got it.

JTor simply doing his sworn duty under the law the Radical organ personally abuses Inspector Hayos. Reeve was one of the men who had a hand in framing the law which was especially designed to ombarrass naturalized citizens, and by deterring as many of them as possible from voting, to lessen the Democratic majority. When a prominent Kadical like Reeve is challenged, then the enforcement of the law becomes an outrage. It seems that Reeve had so little knowledge of the requirement of the law that he brought his brother's papers up as evidence of his own naturalization, which were of course not received. When Keeve produced the proper evidence, a certificate from the Court that he had been naturalized, his name was registered.

The Republican General Committee has appointed men to watch every polling place, and note every name registered, under the pretence of keeping out fraudulent votes. When Democrats exercise the same vigilance, and demand from a Badical legal proofs of his citizenship, the organ of the party calls it Democratic malignity," and a partisan outrage. They don't like to take their own medicine. Buffering from the effects of a' severe cold. He spoke substantially as follows: Tho mooting was held for the double purpose of hearing the newBfrom Pennsylvania, and of taking into consideration tho charges which had been made by some of tho Radical party, against tho Democrats.

(Applause). They had heard at the Academy of Musio that the Democrats in the Board of Supervisors had perpetrated a fraud upon the people of Kings County. The party that nominated that noble patriot S. B. Chittenden (hisses), charged the Board of Supervisors with having perpetrated a fraud upon the people of tho City of Brooklyn.

On that occasion he heard Mr, JoBhua M. Van Cott make a speech, he heard a portion of it in which he oponly charged the members of the Board of Supervisors with having been guilty of corrupt, deliberate and willful perjury. Mr. Van Cott was the champion of the Radical party, and he (the sneaker) in the name of the Democracy invited Mr. Van Cott to meet him if he daro, during the present canvass (loud applause) to discuss the charges of fraud made against the Democrats, or the issues involved in the campaign.

He pledged himself to meet Mr. Van Cott one night in a Democratic Wigwam and the next night in a Republican Wigwam. On behalf of the Democrats he would promise fair play and a fair hearing if he dared to meet him. (Applause.) Did Mr. Ohittendon suppose that the people of Kings county, and of the City of Brooklyn, had forgotten that two years ago lie was openly charged with buying his nomination.

(Applause Let Mr. Chittenden dony it if he dare, and he would call upon tho stand such a man as ex Postmaster Lincoln to prove the charges of corruption against that pure patriot (Laughter.) Dare Mr. Chittenden deny that when the nominations were made, he placed the sum of $10,000 in the hands of a certain individual whose name he could give. (Applause.) Such a man as that got up and charged the Supervisors with fraud. Applause.

Neither the private character of Mr. Van Cott, nor of Mr. Chittenden, would compare with the characters of the men who belonged to the Board of Supervisors. Loud applause. Two years ago the Republican party in the City of New York charged the Democratic party with fraud in getting out naturalization paperB, what was the result? it false list In the hand writing of the Radical member of the 13th Ward (Applause.) If there was a Republican present he challenged to show where there was a semblimce of fraud except in tho 13th Ward, and that perpetrated by a radical trepublican himself (ApplauBe and cries of "that'B When thollaw was first passed giving in the city of New York, the power of appointing Inspectors andJCanvassers of election, to the Police Commissioners, the Board of Supervisors in Kings County was republican and it was because of that fact that the power was given to them.

It was an Insult to him and an Insult to him was an insult to every member of the Board. John S. Folk, (hisses) who believes more in carrying out the policy of tho Radical party than in protecting the lives and property of tho citizenB of Brooklyn, made a rush to "put him out" it would not have been a very healthy proceeding (applause and would do better if ho attended to thieves, burglars and pickpockets, and his detectives had better attend to their duties than when there was a grand meeting in Brooklyn to bring thieves over from New York, and divide with them as they do. (a voice "hit him again" and laughter). Ho had beon the District Attorney of Kings County, for a few years and knew what ho was saying.

(Applause) turned out that tho only fraud was in tho irregular papers issued by tho Republican committee of that city. Applause. Whenever the Republican party were fierce aud violent in their charges of fraud and corruption, they themselves meant to commit fraud, aud the cry was only raised for the purpose of covering up their own 1 rack. Applause. Tho man whose namo.

There were only two exceptions, Henry Van Wagner and David Corwin, whom ho had always found to be faithful officers, and whon he said the detectives were a gang of thieves, all were included with the exception of those two.

They were in the habit of watching citizens of Brooklyn who carry large sums of money about with them, or wear valuable pins, and gave information of those facts to the thieves of New York, who wore invited over to rob the citizens of Brooklyn and tho plunder was afterwards divided. (Applause and cries of "Oh Oh I Mr. Morris then related a number of incidents which had come undor his own observation, going to show that the detectives were in league with thieves and pickpockets, and that they worked" together, and after again briefly referring to S.

Van Cott, he resumed his seat amidst great cheering and loud applause. NEWS FROM PENNSYLVANIA. Judge Barnard came forward with another dospatch in his hand and said: It wid be recollected that last year the Democrats carried the State of Pennsylvania by somewhere about 1,900 majority, a voice "891" and the few returns that wo havo, show in every iustanco that there is a Democratic gain over last year. Loud applause and cheers. A private despatch has come, in which Bays that Philadelphia gives about 6,000 Democratic majority; the State is still doubtful, but Democrats are hopeful.

Renewed applause. Short addresses were afterwards delivered by Surrogate Veedor, Mr. Jno. D. Hennessey, Mr.

Wm. H. Schooley, Thos. E. Pearsall, and others.

At irregular intervals dispatches were read by Mr. Bernard which tended to confirm the good news already receivod, aud at a late hour the audionco adjourned in good order and good spirits. WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCT. 14. This paper has the Largost Circulation of any Evening paper published in tlio United States.

Its value as an Advertising JIu ilium is therefore apparent. The Result ot Yesterday's Elections. Elections were held yesterday in the great Middle State of Pennsylvania, and in two of the great Western States Ohio and Indiana. By common consent the result of the elections in these States was accepted as foreshadowing the issne of the great contest in November. If the Democrats had carried all three of these StateB, they would have gone into the closing straggle confident of victory, and in a spirit which would have of itself assured it.

If they had carried two of th8 three States, the contest would have been spirited but the result would not have been doubtful. If they had so far reduced the majorities in these States against them, that there would have been a reasonable hope of ultimate victory by following up the advantage of the opening struggle, the final issue might still be regarded as problematical. The returns from all States in which elections were held yesterday are comparatively meagre, but enough is known to justify the Kadicals in claiming that they still hoid their own, and as they are in a majority, of course, this insures their success in November, except some unexpected change should take place in public sentiment meanwhile. In the fall elections which are now closed, the public opinion of nearly every section of the Union has been tested. Kentucky oponed with an overwhelming majority for the Democracy.

The verdict of her people may bo accepted as proof that the polioy pursued by the Radical party towards the South has failed to satisfy its people, and that if power had boon restored to that party could have hoped to strengthen itself in it only by modifying its vindictive policy, and resorting to wise statesmanship in order to restore the government to its normal condition, by basing it on the consent of the governed. Oregon followed Kentucky and was carried by the Democrats. It was at once assumed that the West had made up its mind to throw its mighty influence between the still alienated sections, and to command the peace which its every interest demands. Vermont followed, and here it was hoped that the weary turmoil of four years of nominal peace had so far disgusted the people that the Democrats might hope to show gains even in New England. The result showed that there was nothing to bo hoped for from that section.

Despite the discouragement in Vermont, the election in Maine was stoutly contested by the Democracy. Unlike Vermont, the antecedents of Maine were Democratic in one of her great interests she was suffering sorely from the misrule which kept the industry of the South prostrate, and reacted by leaving the shipyards of Maine deserted. The Kadicals at least held their own in Maine, and New England was given up. But it was said that section had especial interests which reconciled her people to the existing condition of affairs. A great National debt exists which the party in power proposes to perpetuate by providing it shall be paid in specie, which is equivalent to deciding not to pay it at all.

To the West the debt represents so much taxation as is needed to carry it, and pay interest in gold upon it. But New England saw in it something more her manufacturing interests demand especial protection, and the necessities of raising an immense gold revenue will insure prohibitory tariffs, so that for the dollar she paysout with one hand she receives two in the other. Again, the Eastern Democrats yielded their position on the financial question to their Western associates, trusting that under a wise and economical administration of the government, and with Seymour's influence if elected, then as always, on the side of strict fidelity to public obligations, the financial issues would be settled with advantage to the people and without injustice The report that Captain General Lersundi had declared in favor of the Spanish Junta is contradicted. He has simply announced his purpose to proteot property and maintain order in Cuba without regard to political questions at home. Thus far his object does not seem difficult of attainment.

The Spanish Provisional Government makes rapid progress. Internal taxes on foreign and domestic articles have been abolished. The property of the Jesuits has been confiscated and the corporate existenael of the order abolished. It is proposed to pursue a Bimilar course in respect of all religious organizations. The Junta cultivates friendly relations with France as with other nations.

Brooklyn shall have her diocese, and Bishop Little ohn may be regarded as an accomplished fact. The Convention yeBterday resolved in favor of the diocesan independence of Kings, Queens and Suffolk counties. Dr. Littlejohn has already been plainly indicatad as the probable spiritual Commander in Chief of the important district of Long iBland. There will also be created in this State another new diooese, consisting of the nineteen counties inoluding and north of Columbia, Green and Delaware.

The canonical trouble which made the Tyng family notorious some time ago was introduced in the Episcopal Convention yeBterday in Dr. Haight's report on the rule the alleged violation of which brought young Stephen to ecclesiastical grief. Dr. Haight does not propose to make any material change in the canon. After brief discussion the matter was postponed until Friday.

It now seems likely that the managers of the Convention will succeed in preventing any sharp collision on the Ritualistic question. There are further reports about that puzzling enterprise, the West Side Elevated Railway. Since the managers got the better of the New York Aldermen and secured the official approval of the Governor and the Mayor there have been prevalent impressive rumors of immense energy. Iron has been bought in large quantities, com prehensive contracts have been concluded with, much vigor, and this is the startling aggregate result "It is said" half amile will be in running order about the first of November. The unveiling at Newport of the statue of Commodore Perry not Oliver Hazard, the hero of Lake Erie, but Matthew Calbraith, the father of Mrs.

August Belmont was entirely satisfactory. Mr. Belmont uncovered the bronze and after a short speech gave place to the Mayor, who emulating the brevity of the former gentleman introduced Dr. Vinton, tho orator of the day. Dr.

Vinton was more successful in showing how well the subject of the statue served the country in the Mexican war and in winning a peaceful victory over the Japanese, than in proving that once upon a time we really had a Bourbon among us. Mr. Ward made the bronze and Mr. Belmont paid for it. The President has recommended the observance of Thursday, November 26, as a day of national thanksgiving.

In his proclamation the President instances the extraordinary and fruitful success attending the vigorous and diligent employment of popular art, skill, and labor, as among the causes of gratitude. As Mr. Seward attests, and probably wrote the document, Walrussia is gracefully referred to in the declaration that "new and prolific regions have been occupied," and Poo Taj en Burlingame is the subject of indirect but complimentary mention when the Secretary says that nations which are afar off, and which heretofore have been unsocial and exclusive, have become our friends." But whatever debate the preamble may occasion, the popular resolution to keep Thanksgiving will be unanimous, and on t'e 26th of November the tin key will be exalted in place of the eagle as the national bird. Mile. Marie Desclauzas, of the Trench Opera Company, Bhould she never sing a note, has already proved herself the most remarkable professional person in the country.

She has actually written to her manager to release him from the contract terms which provide for her debut at a certain time and in a certain very popular work. More than that she gracefully recognizes the success of another member of the company in the favorite role. Still moro than that she urges the manager on no account to interfere with that success but to postpone her own appearance. Mile. Marie Desclauzas is a charming curiosity.

Most artists, who know their rights and knowing dare maintain," raiBe the standard of rebellion if their names are printed in the bill in type smaller by a hair's breadth than other people's. They would as readily consent to a reversal of the revolution of the planet bb to a relinquishment of parts they are engaged to play. That anybody but themselves can Buoceed in characters they have made, or think they have made, their own, never enters into their minds to be conceived. That their own interests should yield to those of any other person who cau by any possibility assume an attitude of rivalry is not for a moment to be thought of, and the manager who madly suggests such a thing must expect to encounter open revolt. Progress up townward in New York is at any time more or less tedious and annoying, but in a street repairing crisis the embarrassments of the journey are increased tenfold.

For months Broadway has boon repaving in the Belgian stylo. During that period a movable section of the thoroughfare has been constantly withheld from wheeled traffic. At a point below and another above the workmen's barricaded precinct stages, carts, carriages, trucks and equestrians havo been compelled to turn aside into narrow parallel streets and make their toilsome way in always apparently, and often really, inextricable confusion. The pleasures of a shopping or theatre going trip in audi circumstances can only be apprehended through personal experience. Descriptive effort inevitably must result in wretched failure.

Still the fingering nuisaace has its uses. It is worth the while of any citizen frequently to go up and down Broadway as it now ib. The journey will supply him with plenty of food for reflection. In the first place he :11 gain some notion of the great obstacles in spiio of which New York has become a great city. He will see how it is left to Btruggle without the obvious modern helps to advancement how the an tiquated omnibus rolls heavily along the avenues, inadequate itself and a type of much else that is inadequate; how tho painful horse car, already out of date, tortures the helpless people it transports how in a variety of ways a large part of men's and women's lives are wasted in getting from home to office or shop.

In the next place he will trunk how Now York would leap to a far higher point of greatness were public interests managed as New York merchants manage then private affairs how soon subterranean or aerial railroads, or whatever sort is beat would connect remote parts, and how municipal devel opment would be promoted rather than retarded as now. PerhapB were the repaving of Broadway distributed over a quarter of a oentury publio opinion proverbially powerful but habitually sluggish would be effectually aroused. BROOKLYN SUNDAY SCHOOL UNION. Annual meeting tnst Evening: tat the Church on the Sleights. The annual meeting of the Brooklyn Sunday School Union took place last night at the Church on tho Heights, it being the 39th anniversary of tho Union.

The exercises were conduoted by Mr. S. M. Parsons. The attendanco was exceedingly large, when the excitement of politics and the news from Pennsylvania and other States is taken into consideration.

The excellent choir of the ohurch, which had kindly volunteered for the occasion entertained the congregation with select pieces of Church music, and the solos of Mrs. Comstock were heartily appreciated. Following the prayer and the reading of the Scriptures Mr. A. D.

Matthews, Corresponding Secretary of tho Association, read the annual report from which it was found that the Brooklyn 8. S. Union was organized in 1829 with six or eight schools' Tho number of schools now connected with it, is oneiundred and twenty three having more than three thousand teachers and thirty thousand scholars. There aro are also thirty other schools in the city, but which, however, are not connected with the Union. Twenty five thousand scholars, in five divisions, paraded at the Sunday School Anniversary last May.

As to the finances, it is found that eighty five schools were callod upon to contribute to this causo, and of those schools sixty eight responded with a contribution of 852. The treasurer's receipts for the year have been S970 C2, and tho expenditures $710 32, leaving a balanco in the treasurer's hands of 8260 28. Undor its auspices the Inatituto of Teachers had been held, which was productive of great benefit to Uie teachers, and it was intended to hold another Institute on tho 16th of November next, which will roqulre an outlay of at least 8200. At tho conclusion of tho reading of the report, Eev. Noah A.

Schonck, D. Bcctor of St, Ann's Parish, was introduced and made an interesting address. He heartily approved of the efforts that were boing mado in the Sunday School, and said his true ministry did not begin until he became interested in tho Sunday School work, and ho felt as if his Sabbath had been misspont if he had not spent a portion of the day among Sabbath School children. He was followed by A. A.

Smith, Esq. and Eev. H. M. Stoors, D.

To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle The opening lecture of the present winter course in this institution, was given yesterdoy at three o'clock, P. at the College Building, No. 223 East 2tith street, by Prof. James M. Comma.

A large and intelligent audience was present, and listened with profound attention to the eloquent lecturer. Remarks were made by Alex. Wildor, M. President of the Board of Trustees, and also by Prof. B.

S. Newton. Tho Trustees of this institution, after thorough discussion, have resolved to open its doors to females ob well as moles. This is but proper and just. Women need encouragement, and if thoroughly educated will make good doctors; and if they adopt this papular and common sense sjstom of will rind a lucrative field of labor.

Many of our enterprising women have availed themselves of this generous oiler of the board, and have already matriculated for the present course. From present prospects the class will bo large, and full one third will be females. Sexual physiology wiU bo demonstrated to that part of the class by a competent female professor. The faculty of this institution aro among the ablest men in our country, and the students will not only learn everything of value taught in other colleges, but will acquire knowledge relative to the successful treatment of disease, that they cannot receive in any other institution in our country. D.

E. L. An Alleged Outrage. To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle I have had occasion at two different time3 to address a few lines to the Dn'on regarding the annoyance to which the residents of Clermont avenuo, between Willoughby and Myrtle, have been subjected ovcry afternoon for many months by tho profane and reckless ball players upon the vacant lots their vicinity. TheBe communications wero not noticed in any way.

The reason for this I could not the timo surmise. I have since learned it waB to prevent any reflection being cast upon tho owners of the property. Being assured of your independence of such influences and love of justice, I now address you with the hope that the residents and property holders of this neighborhood, whose iutcrests I whoso feelings I express, may be heard. The property referred to is owned by the Hon. Samuel Booth, Wm.

M. Little, and others. It lies directly opposite the North Rc tormed Church, of Clermont avenue. A few dayB ago we learned that these gonllemon in connection with otherB, proposed erecting a skating rink upon it. We could not iielievo at first that men of their character and standing in the community, would lend their influence to a project that would be so detrimental to the cause of Christ in the vicinity that would tend to the depreciation of the property of others, and ruin the neighborhood for the purpose of private residence, from motives of sclf inlorest.

We thought they wero men who would not Btoop to BUCh things for a littlo personal gain. We were mistaken. Like too many others wo find their principles aro in their pockets. Satisfied of this tho Carlton avenuo Methodist Church, owning property on Clermont avenue, near the intended rink, upon which they soon oxpect to erect a church ediflco, united with the Clermont avenue church, and many private property holders in an earnest and respectful romonstrauco against the project, sotting forth its inevitable evils briefly, to which no attention has been paid. This morning ground was broken for tho rink, showing their determination to carry the matter through, regardless of the interests aud wisbcB of the peoplo.

There can bo no doubt that tho enterprise if prosecuted to its completion, will prove ultimately ruiuous to tho neighborhood, especially for purposes of rcligoUB worship. With a band of music playing incessantly, and tho noise and confusion incident to all such institutions, how can any roligious meotiugs be carried on through tho week. It will be impossible. Both these churches had congratulated thomselves that they had obtained locutions where they would bo froo from all such annoyances. But it seems they have not.

Must they sell out. Is it not hard that we should be compelled to submit to have our moetingB disturbed, the quiet of neighborhood destroyed through tho mercenary motives of men from whom we feol we have reason to expect better things. The indignation of the people in the neighborhood is thoroughly arouaed.

The Herald's account is pro faced by the following summary: Large Republican Gains Great Republican Majorities. Thoy Carry the State Officers bnt Lose Several Congressmen. Asnley Vailandigham and Cary Defeated? Pennsylvania Republican by 9,000, Ohio 20,000, Indiana 10,000 Nebraska 1,000.

The Voto in Philadelphia. The City goes Republican, but Elects a Democratic Mayor by 1,100. Theso sentences tell the Btorv quite as cloarly as the fragmentary returns and majorities from which they ore inferred. The detailed figures from all three of the States, especially from Fonsylvania come in very slowly and comparatively very few counties aro anything like complete. The results throughout that Stato do not appear to vary materially from 18S8, whon the Republican majority was 16,178, the dsfference being rather in favor of the Democrats.

In Philadelphia the Democrats appear to have gained on the vote of that year electing Randall and Moffat (gain) to Congress, and Fox Moyor, by ono or two thousand majority. The returns from Ohio indicate a decided Republican majority. Ashley and Gibson, Republicans tor Con gresB, are, probably, defeated, but Gen. Schenck beat Mr, Vallandigham. Mr.

Cary, Democrat and working men's candidate, is defeated by Mr. Stevenson. Indiana elects Republican Congressmen in the 3d, 4th Sth, 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th and 11th Districts, and Democrats in the 1st and 2d, the Gth being doubtful. TBe Republicans claim the State by a small majority only. The Republicans appear to gain in Nebraska.

The election in Philadelphia yesterday was attended by several minor disturbances, in which some persons were shot, one fatally it Is feared. There were one or two collisions between the Sheriff's and tho Mayor's officers, but generally the former did not interfere with the latter. TheBospeoted naturalization papers were generally received where the Democrats controlled but rejected by Republican authorities. The Tribune, feeling that it can afford to be frank in view of its certain victory in Ohio and Pennsylvania, concedes that Indiana is yet in doubt, and we hear that Senator Hendricks himself haB telegraphed that he hoa no doubt he is elected Governor. The increase in tho voto of Pennsylvania is large.

In Philadelphia alono it approaches 20,000 over last year, when tho Democrats carried tho city by 2,500. Now the total vote is 120,000, and the Democratic majority on the ciiy ticket is variously stated from 1,000 to 1,500 or 2,000, the State ticket in this city being claimed by both sides. In tho State at large the total vote can only be estimated from fragmentary returns, the Indications arc that tho Democrats havo gained Bomewhat, but not largely, on the vote of 1SGG, when the Republicans carried the State by 17,000. Last yoar tho Democrats carried the State by about 1000, but this was owing to the stay at home vote being moro Republican than Democratic. The political sentiment of tho Stato seoms to have remained as nearly as possible tho same as in 1866.

The Democrats claim a gain of two Congressmen over I860, making the representation in the now Congress eight to sixteen. Tho result in Ohio is more decisive still, though tho dispatches aro evidently colored by Republicau sympathy on the part of the writers. There is a Democratic gain of three if not four Congressmen. In tho present Congress tho Domocrats havo four membors to tho Radicals fifteen. Ashley's defeat is concoded by tho Republicans.

Vallandigham's friends ore said to claim bis election. From Indiana the returns are moro meagre even than those of the other States. The election of D. W. Voor hees, Democratic, to CongresB, seems to be conceded, which, if true, will givo the Democrats four tustcad of three of the eleven Congressmen.

The Nebraska returns are few and scattering, but they indicate that tho Republicans have carried tho State. As a small island in tho ocean which submerges tho Democracy in those elections, wo learn fromj Newark, N. that the Democrats have neutralized if not overcome, the previous Radical majority in that city. The Registration Yesterday. Yesterday was the first day for the registration of voters in tho several wards and notwithstanding the apparent apathy in the matter of proper notification the number of votes registered was larger by 20,068, than tho number registered on the first day of rogistry year.

Arctic Explorations Address tty 2r. IJCLJ CS. The rogular monthly meeting of the Long Island Historical Society was held last evening, in the chapel of the Packer Institute, a largo number of ladies and gentlemon attending. After the transaction of considcraule routine business, Dr. Isaac L.

Hayes, the fellow explorer of tho Lite Dr. Kane, wa3 introduced to the audience. Ho thon delivered an interesting Historical lecture, developing but littlo, if anything, that is not familiar to our readors, and the lecturer himself stated that, having oddressod the Society twice during the last eighteen months, and no intelligence of moment having since been received, he could give thorn but little fresh intelligence During tho lecture, which occupied about an hour in its delivery, Dr. Hayes rendered his theories especially comprehensible by explanatory references to a large map of tho Arctic Regions, which hung in fuU view of the auditory. In drawing to a closo he detailed many of the habits of the Esquimaux, and other Polar trihos, and spoke at some length of tho animal and bird kingdoms of the regions of perpetual ico and snow.

He frankly admitted that the discovery of tho great northern paBBOgo would be of but little if any real benefit to tho commercial world, but it would be conducivo to tho advancement of scienco and civilization, and would be a national triumph for the country of him who first makCB the discovery. He also stated that an international effort, in which he will tako part, is about to bo made. When Dr. Hayes had resumed his seat, the floor was token by Dr. Farley, of this city, who eulogized the loc turer, for his praiseworthy aud determined offorts, and expressing the hope that he would Buccood in planting the American standard at tho northorn most point of the globe, in advance of all others, proposed a vote of thanks which was cordially given, after which tho meeting adjourned, and very many of those present, made their way to tho rostrum to converse, with the eminent American Explorer.

RADICAL SLANDERS REFUTED Muss KCceting at the Fulton Avenue Wigwam Tne Action ot the Supervisors Explained The only Fraud is Perpetrated by Bndicnls in the Thirteenth Ward Speeches by Supervisor Osborn, mayor Kalbfleisch, Hon. Samuel morris, and many others Challenge to Joshua ITU. Van Cott The Good News from Pennsylvania. Last night the Wigwam of the Constitutional Union Association, on Fulton avenue, was crammed to its utmost capacity by those anxious to hear the slanderous assertions cast upon the Board of Supervisors by the Radical party, refuted by members of the Board cognizant of the facts in the case.

Much had been assumed, and more taken for granted, at the meeting in the Academy of Music on Saturday night, and the fulfilment of the promise ot Mayor Kalbfleiscu, that he would give the facts, was looked forward to with much interest The building, spacious though it is, failed to accommodate half of those who were anxious to be present, and hundreds had to leave without being able to get within sight of the speakers so large was tho crowd at the entrance. Another Bource of attraction was the fact that tho Constitutional Union Association had, for the purpose of receiving the earliest returns of the elections held yesterday, had wires laid to connect with the UneB of the Western Union Telegraph Company, and an operator, Mr. George E. Soibert, was kept at work during the wholej evening, receiving dispatches from Philadelphia and other places which were immediately placed in the hands of Judge Barnard and read to the audience. On the platform were a number of ladies, large dele gations from the Boards of Aldermen and Supervisors, members of tho judiciary and of the bar, together with many well known and influential citizens.

An abundance of choice musio was furnished by Colletti's Band during the intervals of speaking, and tended in a great measure to increase the enthusiasm which waB aroused by the pointed and vigorouB remarkB of the orators, and the good newB flashed over the wires from Pennsylvania. Shortly before eight o'clock Hon. D. P. Barnard, President of Constitutional Union Association, called the meeting to order.

JUDGE BABNABd's OPENING ADDRESS. Hon. D. P. Barnard, in calling the meeting to order, said they must bear in mind that that was an indignation meeting, and must therefore put on as indignant faces as they could (laughter and applause).

They had summoned the members of the Board of Supervisors to appear before them, for tho purpose of ans vering tho charges of fraud and corruption which had been brought against them by tho Republican party. That party, in the course of its alterations in the law to ombarrass the voters of Kings County, passed a law that there should be four Inspectors, and that they should be appointod by the Board ot Supervisors, that no person's namo should be put upon the register unless approved of by three members of the Board of Inspectors. Tho object of those enactments was for the purpose of obstructing legal voters from obtaining their rights in tho City of Brooklyn. (Applause.) The Republican party then had a majority in the Board of Supervisors, and they expected always to have a majority in that Board. They would then have appointed all tho Inspectors and Canvassers from their own party, and if he (the speaker) had been a member of the Board of Supervisors when the Democrats had a majority, he would have token care that a majority of the Inspectors nnd Canvassers should bo appointed by one party or the other.

(Cries of "good," applause and laughter.) He would then have done just as their opponents had often done. Applause. Did thoy know what the Republicans did when Governor Seymour applause was in the executive chair at Albany, and when he insisted that a Republican Legislature should appoint half of tho members of the Board of Police ComniisBionorB from the Democratic party, and half from tho Republican party? At tho end of two years Governor Soymour wont outund Governor Fenton (hisses) was elected, the time of ono of the Police Commissioners expired, and what did tho Republican Legislature do 1 Did they appoint another Democrat to fill his place? No, they appointod a Republican and thuB there were three Republicans and only one Democrat (Auplause.) At the last election, the Democratsghad a majority, and brought back a fair and equal system of having half Republicans and half Democrats. (Applause.) If he had his way the Board of Police Commissioners should bo abolished altogether. (Loud applause).

There wore many gentlemon present members of the Board of Supervisors, together with His Honor, Mayor Kalbfleisch (loud applause), who were better ablo than he was to speak of the object for which the meeting had been called, and tho first one ho should call upon for that purpose would bo the President of the Board, Supervisor Osborn, of the Sixth Ward. (Loud applause and music by tho band.) SUPEBVISOB OSBOEN'S SPEECH. Supervisor Osborn said a few days ago there appeared in a paper published in the Eastern District, a communication signed by Frederick Scholes. He could aBsert that it was almost entirely a tissue of misrepresentation from beginning to end. (Applause.) It came, however, to the attention of tho Republican party, and thoy feeling confident that an overwhelming defeat awaited them at the next election, seized on that document as a pretext to explain their defeat (applause.) They called upon the citizens to meet and rebuke the flagrant outrage which they Baid had been perpetrated by the Board of Supervisors.

The meeting took place at tho Academy of Music, and ho attended it for the purposo of seeing how great a fit of indignation his republican frionds could work themselvos into about so small a matter (applause.) He failed to see that they made out their case, and one speaker took advantage of the occasion to deliver a political haranguo in favor of General Grant (hissing.) If any fparty had cause to complain of fraud, it was the Democratic party, for how had the Republicans acted in the case of the Police Commissioners who have the power of appointing inspectors and canvassers in the City of New York? He was informed that in that city the Republican party always received the Lion's Bhare. (Applause.) So too it was in the National Legislature, when under the previous question, and the party lash laid on by Thad. Stevens, all discusBion had been cut off. (Applause.) He asked them to look at the way affairs were being carried on in Tennessee by Gov. Brownlow, (hisses.) The poll clerks appointed for Sings County by the Police Commissioners were always Radicals.

No charge had been made against the Inspectors and Canvassers, and he had bton considerably surprised to hear Mr. Van Cott say that after the election was ver, all the canvassers had to do was to rotire to a private room and make up the returns to suit themsolves. Mr. Van Cott knew that the law provided that the canvaBS should be conducted oponly, and is always conducted openly and in the presence of representatives of both parties, (applause). Again Mr.

Van Cott had stated that the appointments were illegal for the reason that the Mayor had voted for them. The Mayor was present and would convince them that he had a perfect right to do so. (applause) He could state as matters of personal experience while a member of the Board of Supervisors that both Mayor Booth and Mayor Wood not only nominated Inspectors and Canvassers but votod for them. All the cheating that had been done in Brooklyn had been done by the Republican party, (applause) To support this assertion Mr. Osborn instanced tho liaber and Worth case, and coming down to a later date mentioned the attempt that was mane last ween to paim on a spurious list of Inspectors and Canvassers for tho Thirteenth Ward.

THE MAYOB AND THE POUCH. Judgo Barnard again rose and said In times gone by when people were deemed fit to be trusted with power, the head of the Police was confided to the Mayor of the City. He was chosen by tho peoplo and they never had any occasion to complain as to the manner in which they had to discharge that trust. In an evil hour that power was taken away, and they had lately seen their Mayor, who had beon invited to attend a public meeting, when one of tho polico forco had dared to raise his club and threatened to "put him out." No fear need bo entertained that such would be tho caso Mayor was present with them and no one had any desiro to "put him out," (loud applause). Ho then introduced his Honor Mayor Kalbfleisch, who was received with several rounds of applause and three cheers.

SPECH OF MAYOR KALBFLEISCH. The Mayor said there was no Radical wuo could deprive him of his rights as an American citizen, thoy might talk about "put him out" but they did not dare to lay their hands upon the "Old Dutchman." (loud applause and a voice "give it to The whole burden of theirjcomplaint waB occasioned by the grievances of two individuals Supervisor Scholes and Joe. Reeves. Here the pressure at the entrance door was tremen douB, hundreds of persons were trying to force their way into the building which was already crammed to "its utmost capacity. Some man cried out "let me in when the Mayor remarked.

"If he is a decent black let him come in and listen, and I will make a white man out of him" (applause and laughter and "three cheers for Mayor The Mayor then proceeded by repeating that tho two men who were at the bottom of the indignation of tho Radicals were Joe Reeves and Supervisor Scholes. (Hisses.) He had been informed, on what he behoved to be good authority, that one of them was not allowed to register that morning because he could not show that ne was an American citizen. appmuso ana lauguter.) Tho question hod never been tried but it had often i been doubted whether Mr. Scholes was an American citizen. (ApplauBe.) The cry of fraud had beon gotten up for political purposes, and if they had any real grievances to compiain of they should have called the citizens together long before last Saturday night.

It would not have been anything out of the way if the Supervisors had appointed all Democrats, for he believed the Democrats were as much to be trusted as Republicans. (Applause.) The Republicans said the appointments were not legal because they were not made by a two thirds majority. He had read the law to Mr. Van Cott, and it says the Mayor shall be by virtue of his office, a City Supervisor and a Justice of the Peace. It waB a well known fact that every Mayor of the cty had exercised the powerB of a member of the Board of Supervisors and of a Justice of tho Peace.

There wore only two ways by which men could obtain office one was by election and the other by appointment He was not appointed a member of tho of Supervisors, and therefore must certainly have been elected. There was no getting over that fact. (Loud applause.) When he was at the Acadomy of Music he had invited his Republican friendB to meet him that night, and if there were ony present ho" asked them to teU him if they know of any district in which a wrong had been done. He had all the districts and all the names, and he wanted them to point out any individual who was not to be trusted. If they said he was a Democrat, the speaker was also a Democrat the people said he was about the honestest fellow they over knew laughter and applause and a great many voted for him because he was honest Applause.

About 700 Inspectors and Canvassers had been appointed, 400 were Democrats and about 300 were Republicans, which was great deal more than they were entitled to, laughter they had been too liberal. Renewed loughter. In the First Ward, the Democratic Supervisor had consulted with Cary, tho old hen that hatches the Union chickens laughter and the appointments wero, he supposed, satisfactory to both parties. Of the Second he has not heard any complaints. In the Third there was a fair division.

In the Fourih the majority of the Inspectors were Democrats, honest and respectable men, and why did they find any fault with them The Ninth and the Eleventh wore equally divided, aud nearly so in the Twelfth, although why they had done so he could not toll, as there were hardly i enougq Republicans in the Twelfth ward to fill the offices applause and laughter. Of the Thirtesnth ward thoy already know the history. In the Fourteenth a strong Democratic ward it was alleged that many of the Inspectors were appointed at the instance of well known Radicals. In the Fifteenth there was an equal division. In the Sixteenth, the Supervisor sont in a liBt which was deemed fair, and adopted by the Committee, and Mr.

Scholes said afterwords that tho list had been altered, which caused the Supervisor to toll Mr. Scholes that ho told an untruth. His Honor was here interrupted by the receipt of THE FZEST DISPATCH. Amidst great excitement Judge Bernard rose, and said they hod just roceive a dispatch announcing that Philadelphia had gone Democrat by over five thousand majority. This announcement was received with enthusiastic applauBe and hearty cheers.

A voice "Pennsylvania, is ours." (Great Cheering.) Judge Barnard Well, they may got up as many indignation meetings against that vote as they please, they wiU havo it all on their own aide, we won't have anything to do with it (Laughter and Applause.) The Mayor then continued his remarks as follows: In the Eighteenth Ward last year thoy had in ono district three Republicans and ono Democrat, although tho ward gives a Democratic majority. In the Second District for two years past both Canvassers have been Republicans and the Domocrata did not call on Indignation meeting, but submitted, as the Republicans had the best of it, and now tho Democrats have the best of it thoy intended to do as they pleased. (A voice that's All tho Inspectors and Canvassors are sworn to do their duty, and a oharge of perjury could not bo sustained against them. The Mayor thon briefly referred to Mr. Chittenden's remarks about Gen.

Grant at the Academy of Music, and after severely commenting on the conduct of Gen. Butler, Sickles, and others, who had left the Democratic party when they found it did not pay, he brought his remarks to a close by again ia vltingany Republican who might be present to point out any instance of frond or injustice in the appointment of Inspectors and Canvassers, and promised to do aU in his power to have the matter set right He then resumed his seat, amidst great applause.

By order. woiUR1)aos. oxusb pouricAtiutKriNoa asK mm The Future op the Southern Neobo. Classes with ballots in their hands demand office. Party managers have to conciliate every class of voters.

Therefore, if the negroes are to vote in the South, where they are numerous, they will hold office. Once in office, they will thwart the aims and blunt the axes of every politician who refuses them social recognition. If Mr. Radical wants his negro colleague's aid he must introduce Mrs. Radical to Mrs.

Negro. Office is the price to be paid for negro votes, social intercourse is the price the white demagogue must pay for the negro office holder's support. If the Radical reconstruction policy is not declared void by the people in this election, the South has before it the choice only between the fate of Mexico and that of St. Domingo. The negroes must amalgamate with the whites, and both races be ruined or they must fight, and one or the other will be exterminated.

The Reconstruction Policy. The late Thad. Stevens was the father of the Radical reconstruction policy, and he did not scruple to admit that he invented it solely for partizan purposes. In a speech at Lancaster, in 18GC, just before Congress assembled, he said: "If the rebel States have never been out of the Union, any attempt to reform their State institutions, either by Congress or the President, is rank usurpation. If a majority of Congress can be found wise and firm enough to declare the Confederate States a conquered enemy, reconstruction will bo easy and legitimate, and the friends of freedom will long rule in the councils of the nation.

If restoration provails, the prospect iB gloomy, the Union party wiU be overwhelmed, and the Copperhead party, which has become extmct with secession, iU revive with restoration." Restoration would have cost nothing, and brought in a large revenue from the South. Reconstruction involves keeping the Sonth in a state of pauperism, at the cost of burdensome taxation, ever augmenting debt, and a huge standing army, which must necessarily in the end overthrow the liberties of the people. What has Radicalism Done The Radical platform boasts of the assured success of the Reconstruction policy. On this a recent speaker observes If to male expenditures without precedent, to create a debt in the short space of Bevon years equal in magnitude to the debts of other natiocB, the growth of centuries, boa success' then the challenge may pass without answer. If to manage the affairs of Government so that its credit is gradually getting worse its most sacred obligations, resting on its plighted faith, bearing six per cent interest in gold, hawked about the markets in Europe at seventy three cents on the dollar, when the consols of England, bearing only three per cent interest, command ninety six, be a "success," then our policy is a success.

If a policy which requires exhaustive taxation to sustain it, exceeding that of any country on the globe, increasing the expenses of living, and SDatching from labor the proceeds of its toil, bo a success," then it is a success. And, finally, if a financial policy which has banished a sound currency of gold and silver, or its equivalent, and substituted a mere paper currency, redeemable in nothing, yet declared a "legal tender," which fluctuates daily in its value, and has depreciated fifteen per cent since tho month of March, I860, be a "success," thon is this financial policy a decided success and we may congratulate ourselves, in the glowing language of the address, that the finances of tho country havo been managed by the Republican party with a success never before known in the history of the world." A Negro Dootoe. A Radical Mayor of Washington has dismissed the white city physician, and has put a negro'quack in his place. Whito women, who in sickness are compelled by poverty to resort to the public provision for medical relief, have to admit this negro quack to their bed sides as their medical attendant. A Slight Mistake.

The Radical morning papers mention as "a Democratic that ex Supervisor Hicks, one of the Inspectors of Election of the Eleventh Ward, left his post yesterday, and closed the office so that voters in the district had no opportunity to register their names. Hicks, however, happens to be a Radical, consequently it is hardly fair to call it a Democratic outrage. Autumnal H.y Cover. The nasal tickling hay fever," of the hay field, which cometh in summer, and which prevaileth to an extent that produceth many nose rubbings, eye itohings and suffocating catarrhal symptoms is, perhaps, no more frequently developed, in Hb accustomed season, than is the hay fever of the hay cart which seizeth upon ye community in general, at about the season of the year through which we aro now passing. Whilo tho summer garb of Nature is being transformed from its refreshing verdant hue to tho more sombre tints of autumn the stables, in.

cities, are being pro vided with the winter's food for tho quadrupeds which inhabit them. Towering loads of hay pass constantly through our streets, and as they roll along, pedestrians, without regard to age or sex, stretch forth'thoir hands and possess themselves of straws," These are used in a multiplicity of ways. They are inserted, cigar like, in tho facial orifice vulgarly termed mouth they aro converted into improvisod toothpicks or by sundry tippings sky ward, earth word, right ward, left ward, and many other ward, made to impart a oarelcss unruffled demeanor to tho tippers. Meanwhilo they aro becoming shorter, short er still, until they disappear witmn tne aioresaia orifice and are converted into "cuds," which are masticated, sucked and turned from side to side with a gravity which a well bred cow might reasonably envy. While nothing for condemnation presents itself in this popular practice, it has an appearance that is exciting to tho risibilities of tho observer.

To see an elderly gent with dignified anxiety clutch at a load of hay; to see an elaborately attired maiden close her gloved hand upon a like treasure and to soo men, women and children circumambulating tho public streets after the manner of Falmorston, with his inevitable sprig of shamrock, is of such frequency that to the cat egory of contagious complaints, may be added tho ludi crous and peculiar Autumnal Hay Fever. B. Y. M. C.

A. About sixty persons were scattered about tho hall of this Association last evening the occasion being the regular monthly meeting. The President occujied the Chair. After tho usual devo tional exercises, the Secretary read the minutes of the previous meeting by which it appeared that twonty three members were admitted at the last meeting. He then read a further list of 102 names, the owners of which were candidates for membership.

On motion the whole number were admitted at one vote. ThePresldent apologized for the smallneBS of the audience and intro duced the Rev. Mr. Hutclunga who read a paper on the "Inner Court." The Intention of the essay was to prove that man carries within him a tribunal at the bar of which all his actions are tried, and either approved or condemned. At the closo of tne leoture ono or two of the members mado somo remarks complimentary to the essayist.

Republican General Committee. A meeting of tho Republican General Committee was held last evening at the hoadquorters ovor the Po3t Oflice. In the absence of tho President, the chair was taken by Mr. Volney Green, and the Secretary was about to read the minutes, when the influx of pooplo anxious to hear all about tho elections, rendered the transaction of any business impossible, and accordingly the meeting, as a business meeting, was adjourned, and the members devoted themselves to "blowing." Vho Chairman led off in a speech, and then introduced Mr. John C.

Wy man, who Bpoke for about an hour in the usual Radical Btrain and illustrated his remarks by the recital of a rather smutty story, notwithstanding the fact that there were some ladies in tho room. At the concussion of the story some one in the audience shouted Tell us some, thing about the nigger, we don't want to hear any more stories." Here ensued considerable confusion. The Radicals cried "Put him out," and got ut in a body to do bo, but the appearance of the mass of pooplo at tho lower end of the room seemed to Bhake their determination somewhat, so they sat down, aud the speaker continued for over an hour to advocate vongeanco to the South, froedom for tho darkey and Blavery for tho whito laborer. His remarks wero occasionally interrupted by the receipt of dispatches announcing Radical victories in Ohio, Pennsylvania and Indiana culled of course from the mass of dispatches received which'helped to keep up the enthusiasm. The speaker was followed by W.

L. Bellows and others, and the crowd did not separate until a late hour. POLITICAL. Cobeection. Mr.

S. M. OstTander writes; "The speech before the Eighteenth Ward Democracy on Monday evening was delivered by mo and not by John B. as erroneously stated." Sullivan. Mr Eugene S.

Sullivan is running for Supervisor of tho SovontU Ward, as a Republican. Bepoblican Banner. The Republicans have raised a banner across Fulton street, in the moat prominent location of the city, in full view of the crowds crossing tho ferry. It bears Mr. Booth's name ond those of Grant and Griswold, in plain, bold characters.

The Pbimahjes. The Democratic primary elections will be hold this ovoning. Delegates will confer a favor by bringing copies of tho successful tickets to our office, or to our reporters at tho City HalL Conventions will be hold on Friday and Saturday, as advertised on our firBt page. Sensational. The Washington Evening Ex 2r881 of yesterday, gave currency to a rumor that a plot to assassinate President Johnson had been discov.

crcd. Fifty negroes and three white men were said to be concernod in the plot Bepoexican Meetings. The Eepublicans hold, besides their headqnortera meeting a ward gathering in the Fifth, of Irish Republicans," who were addressed by General Kernan and others at the Sands street House and another at Oakf ord Hall, Fulton avenue, corner Classon, in the Seventh Ward, where Messrs. Silas B. Dutcher and W.

W. Goodrich jubilated over the returns from Pennsylvania. Ninth Wabd. The Ninth "Ward Soldiers and Sailors' Democratic Club held thoir weekly meeting at their hall, corner of Grand avenue and Pacific street, when business of importance was transacted, including the election of two additional delegates to the Central Club, and arrangements mado towards holding a mass meeting at an early day, undor tho auspices of the Club. Charges op Fraud.

The 15th ward Bepub lican Club, at the last meeting of the County Committee of their party, sent in a complaint of fraud in the management of their primaries. It may bo some consolation to Democrats to see that their opponents fling dirt at each other in as lively a fashion as they do at us, or as our politicians fling at each other. Charges of fraud are heard aU round the board, as well as across it The True Union Party. So long as the Democratic party continued in power the Union existed and the Constitution remained supremo. Had that noble organization continued in power wo should have had neither secession nor civil war nor a half million of the best men of the land consigned to premature graves nor twenty seven hundred millions of public debt, out the vitals of the nation no occasion to extort from the people five hundred millions annually.

There was not a day nor an hour during the late war the Democracy of the North were not unqualifiedly for the Union of tho States, as framed by our fathers. They constituted the only unqualified Union party in America at that time. Tho Radicals Bought a Union such as they might dictate, of unequal States, based largely on negro suffrage, but not the Union of Washington and his compeers not oven with slavery abolished by the States themselves. Texas. One General Beynolds is the military commander, under Grant, in Texas.

Every man, woman and child in that Stato holds life and property at his nod. He can organise military commissions and hang or shoot people right off. Lot ony negro make a complaint against white men and Reynolds sends his soldiers to imprison, or even shoot the whito peoplo or to burn their housos. Reynolds' latest exploit to threaten military penalties against any citizen who attempts to vote for President In Texas. If Northern people could realise what a tyranny is being exercised in their name by such men as Reynolds, thoy would make a swiit end of miRtary Governors and military candidates both.

Beecheb. The New York Sun, in discussing the U. S. Senatorship after referring to the aspirations of Senator Morgan and Gov. Fenton says: A new and most formidable competitor has made his appearance in the person of the popular clergyman, Henry Ward Beecher.

Mr. Beecher haB always had a hankering after politics. In him political sentiments are ever irrepressible. He has long been in the habit of preaching politics from the pulpit and from the stump and wherever he speaks, he is never without ears to hear hi one reason of which is because his own ears are not bo long as those of many publio speakers. Lost Friday evening Mr.

Beecher delivered himBelf of a political oration in Brooklyn. It was all for Grant and Colfax, and would outitle him to an oppomtineni perhaps to a place in tho Cabinet; but his talents ore better adapted to the Senate." The library shelves of the British. Museum, if placed in a continuous line, would extend no less than twenty five miles. The accession of books keeps growing at the rate of about twenty thousand volumes a year, or between fifty and sixty a day. Bussia will soon have the Black Sea and the Baltio in direct railway connection.

This was a long contemplated project, and will not only develop her commerce but enormously increase her defensive power. to the government creditor. In the East the I Democrats believed that if the country could be restored to its normal condition of peace and prosperity, and if the immense sums now squandered in propping up the negro governments of the South with bayonets, could be placed to the public credit, taxation would be so reduced by the inorease of the number able to pay taxes, consequent on a return of prosperity, no one would talk of repudiating obligations which we could so easily meet, while by decreasing our National expenditure, the credit of the Government would be so far restored that its obligation to pay a dollar would be accepted as worth a dollar. Hence the distinction between gold and greenbacks would exist no longer, and the question of paying the debt in one sort of currency rather than another would be one of no practical concern. The supporters of Mr.

Pendleton in the West insisted that the financial question should be brought most prominently before the public, and on this issue they declared they could carry the West by storm. His friends regarded the Radical succeses in the East as of no sort of consequence, and we were asked to wait until the West was heard from. Ohio and Indiana fairly represent that section and in neither State have the exultant promises of Mr. Pendleton's friends been redeemed. The Democrats acceptedPennsylvania as the real battle ground.

They concentrated their strength on that State first because it is accepted as a political axiom, that as Pennsylvania goes in October so goes the Union in November. Again, Pennsylvania represents in herself the several interests of the Republic. A majority of her people are employed in agriculture, her mining interest is second to that of no State in the Union, her people are largely engaged in manufacturing; she has within her borders after New York, the chief commercial city of the Union the State occupies a central position and as the second of our great commonwealths she has an especial interest in preserving in its integrity the government under which she has grown to be so prosperous and powerful. Parties, too, in the State, were about evenly balanced. The Democrats, by concentrating their efforts on that State as they did, were enabled to hold their own with their more wealthy antagonists.

The management of the campaign was marked on both sides by about equal energy and skill. It will be difficult to show that the vote in that State does not fairly test the strength of each party in this section of the Union, and the Kadicals have carried it by a majority which apparently insures them the State in November. There is no use to break the effect of this verdict. It is possible that General Grant may not be the next President of the United States, but it is only possible. In all the States in which elections were held yesterday the Democrats made a gallant struggle against great odds.

Probably the aggregate vote cast will reach one million five hundred thousand. A change of less than two per cent, in the vote would have reversed the position of the two parties. If the majority on the Democratic side in Kentucky could be diffused over the 'States which held their elections yesterday the Kadicals would have been swamped in every one of them. This continued confidence in the Democratic party by the American people ought to silence all doubts as to the hold it has on the heart of this country. The demagogue who assails its loyalty or its devotion to the whole country, invites odium on half his countrymen.

The Democratic party has been eight years out of power it looks for its support among the poor, among the young and studiouB who have studied the principles of our Government among the unselfish voters who have no interest in politics save as they can serve the interests of the country anion the magnanimous veterans of the war, who have no wish to try to add to their own importance by prolonging the divisions it has excited, and among those who regard every section of their country with equal affection. Every special interest is against ns. The manufacturing monopolist is opposed to us those interested in an oppressive banking system can afford to contribute millions to defeat ns the office, holder who, taking advantage of the national necessities to plunder the people, denounces us; the Generals of the Armies who desire to keep up military establishments and their own importance, vilify ns, but Congregational..
